Scoliosis


When I was approximately 11 years old. My mother took me to our family doctor for my regular check-up. He noticed that I had slight scoliosis, approximately 7 degrees off. This is in no way severe, and only people with an acute eye can can recognize it. In fact, the scoliosis with time went down to between 3 - 5 degrees off.

Could something so slight have contributed to disk degeneration? Perhaps this slight abnormality contributed to bad posture, and my horse back riding and long distance running contributed? Who knows. But it would be interesting to know how many other young people with my condition also have slight or more severe scoliosis.
